Rupert talks about the multiple attempts to kill his character on Homeland, being in the Star Wars universe, playing the Grand Inquisitor in the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” filming in Tatooine Cantina, his uncomfortable costume, having a double-sided Lightsaber, whether or not he survived the stabbing in the show, his love of playing a villain, and he commends Jimmy’s valiant effort to try and get spoilers.

    Okay so what is the deal with the Grand Inquisitor…..? ….I am happy that he knows about the Pauan (ik spelling is wrong) having two stomachs….not the most important thing, but I am waiting for what they do with it…Anyway I liked Rupert’s take on it..The Grand Inquisitor is a really imp villian

    He obviously survives because the grand inquisitor was in star wars rebels and that takes place 4 years after the Kenobi show!

    I love when someone can riff with Jimmy. It doesn’t need to be perfect just fast. Rupert does a great job!

    Fun Fact about the leprosy joke at the end: Leprosy is actually airborne, so it doesn’t matter if you shake hands with an infected individual. Close quarters conversation is enough for exposure. That being said, infection rates from exposure are much lower than commonly believed.
    Still a scary disease, though, so it’s understandable.

    Rupert looks like he could be Orlando Bloom’s brother.
